8/29 vs Miami

[a700hitter]

I disagree. I think Mattingly holds a grudge over the Yankems when they passed on him as manager and hired Girardi.

I watch a lot of NL games, especially NL East. He is dumb as a doorknob.

[iortiz]

Yes!

[d-money]

Offensive explosion. This lineup’s capable of that.

[jung]

Mattingly should have left it alone just based on the principle that "if I'm doing something, it can't turn out right". He must know what he is as a manager by now.

[vegasbob]

Whoever now comes out of the bP for top 8, needs to do it in a shutdown manner to shut up their critics. Then someone other than Kimbrel will try to hold it in the 9th. Brasier and Kelly ?

[Carbo-Diem]

Anybody remember Ryan LaMarre from two years ago? He is pounding the skanks tonight!

[a700hitter]

And White Sox add 1, now 4-1

Ryan Lamarre has 2 doubles and a Homer driving in all 4 runs. He is trying to help the Red Sox.

[iortiz]

I'll take the triple. A 3 run lead is not BP proof.

 

Hopefully it is now, compadre.

[Tedballgame]

This has been a real nice inning.

[jung]

There is still only 1 out in the inning. Come on Don...lets make another move. Can't be worse than your usual.

[iortiz]

JD can run. 10-5 folks l, life is good now.

[a700hitter]

Hopefully it is now, compadre.

Hopefully, 6 run lead is enough.

[redsoxrules]

Lead should be bullpen proof now

[Tedballgame]

If Kinsler heats up and starts hitting some homers the offense will be so much better.

[a700hitter]

Benny must regret his bunt. LOL!!!

[mvp 78]

Little League team

[Tedballgame]

When it rains, it pours.

[iortiz]

There we go, this is turning into a batting practice LOL!

[a700hitter]

The wheels have come flying off for the Marlins. Mattingly will probably bring in his closer. LOL!!

[Tedballgame]

Which of Vazquez or Leon won't be with the Sox next year because Swihart will be. He is an offensive catcher who is only going to get better as a hitter.

[jung]

Of course I could say that the Marlins and Mattingly deserve each other.

We just signed Vaz.

 

Leon is our best catcher right now.

 

My guess is we have all 3 on the opening day roster next year.

[jung]

You folks do realize that the Marlins are the 29th rated relief crew in baseball right?

[Tedballgame]

Pomeranz may get the 8th tonight.

[a700hitter]

4 players have 2 hits this inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does 11 really qualify as a crooked number?

[Tedballgame]

We just signed Vaz.

 

Leon is our best catcher right now.

 

My guess is we have all 3 on the opening day roster next year.

They won't keep 3 catchers, I don't think.

[moonslav59]

Didn't we just have 3 hits before this inning started?

[a700hitter]

5 players with 2 hits in this inning.

Leon would be most likely to go I think. The Sox have a bigger investment in Vazquez. But the bigger consideration could be keeping all 3 for both the injury factor and Swihart's position flexibility. You might get a good reliever for Leon , at least in a package deal withothers
